Prince Bismarck's desiring to cooperate
with the Gear in his present policy
of securing respect for the treaty Of Berlin. This
has been Bismarcks persistent aim, but not
Russia's. Ths change in the relations between
the two governments is due to the efforts of NJ
de Giers who, freed from the oppression of the
the Pan Slavisr party since NJ Katkoff's death,
seeks Germanys co operation within the limits
of the Berlin treaty. If this friendly attitude
continues the mutual national aversion may
abate.

NEW ROUTE TO THE EAST.

Commercial Change Which Promises Great
Advantages to the Japanese.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON. Aug. 27.-The opening Of the Cana
dian Pacific and the establishment Of a line of
steamers from Vancouver to Yokohama and
Hong Kong is creating extraordinary interest
and excitement in japanese political and COM
mercial circles. The native journals actively
discussing the probable effect of the develop
ment of the new route on the commercial posi-
ton of Japan. which, they think, may be COM
rlstely revolutionized by it. If. they say, goods
for China and other countries in the East are
conveyed by this route Japan would have in the
East position corresponding TO that of Great
Britain in the West as commercial and bank
ing center. AT present. while the Suez
canal is the main route, Japan
stands alone, at the extreme end of the chain of
communications. With the Canadian Pacific
steamship and railway lines in active operation
Japan should be the center of the Eastern trade,
and accordingly Japanese merchants urged
to be up and doing. It is suggested that the
native steamship companies may connect Hong
Kong and Singapore with Yokohoma, and pos
sibly extend the line to Australia later thus in
crsasing the number OF feeders of the Canadian
Pacific Whatever the result may be, the Of
ficials OF the Canadian Pacific have succeeded in
arousing to a very high pitch Japanese CONNER
